I've been playing X Construction but I already beat all the levels so I'm looking for any similar physics based building games.
[Android Apps and Games] yipyipyip:
you can try Tiki towers, or spaghetti/marshmallow, or space physics....
[Android Apps and Games] flavor88:
well, this has nothing to do with phones, but i like this kind of games and would recommend you to play "World of Goo" for pc. its a really interesting game if you haven't still played it
[Android Apps and Games] alexcolodner:
This is not an app, but a flash game - so depending on you phone you will be able to play it easily. It is called Fantastic Contraption. Its been around for a couple years but is way more advanced than x construction. You build contraptions in order to get a ball or balls to an objective. Its super fun and addictive. Worth a look.
[Android Apps and Games] amandahanson:
this game is a near clone of x-construction

It's called "Link"... the graphics are a bit different than x-construction, but the idea is nearly the same.

Do a search on the Android Market for "Link Darren Gates" and you'll find it. I don't recall the URL right now.

There not much I would want from the iPhone4/iOS that I'd want Google to copy/"incorporate" into Android.

The Copy&Paste and text magnification when hovering over comes to mind...

And I do prefer the App Store layout/format over Android Market

Everyone knows

Apple is the company that is first with everything, even if another company makes it much earlier.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
Just be grateful that they made the iPhone and iPad in the first place. If not we'd still be stuck using ****ty blackberries or WinMo phones.

Quick timeline:

Computers suck

Apple copies Xerox gui Makes Macintosh

Microsoft copies apple makes Windows

Hello linux gui

Apple makes newton pda/tablet nobody cares?

Palm makes miniature pda/tablet better hardware/software

RIM works with enterprises and ruins thumbs

Microsoft shrinks Windows, still using stylus

iPhone - capacitive touch/thumbs around the world are happy plus install apps directly from handset

Android - iPhone like/different/needs lots of polish

Palm Pre - awesome

iPad

bazillion other tablets.

Apple might copy a lot of stuff but it seems like they are the ones who get copied first.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
But you said yourself they copied Xerox gui. :p
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
Yes I know but you know what I'm saying. Who knows what Xerox was doing with their UI. Xerox pc's - doubt it.

Or maybe they were waiting all along to unveil the Xerox God Phone. :p
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Apple is good at claiming they made it first. The first GUI was by Stanford Univ. Plus the mouse was not an Apple invention either, Tablets were not an Apple invention BUT.......... Apple is very good at marketing and providing the central use applications that most will use and makes those very user friendly.

But as far as innovation, and being first, just not factual.

Besides that imitation is considered flattery in some circles, Apple has to go with the market or die off Just Like Nokia is currently.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
While true, and I HATE apple's marketing gimmicks, I still think that the iPhone and the iPad were innovative. I'm sure most people who used a smartphone prior to the iphone will agree. The same goes for tablets, most of them just suck and are plagued with OS issues. I'm sorry but Windows wasn't meant to be on a tablet.

I wasn't claiming that apple invented the wheel. I'm saying that apple took the wheel, made it easy to use, look nice, perform great, and gave everyone else a formula to follow. And they did.

But back on topic, yes they all steal ideas from each other. They have to.
[Vibrant General] CrazyCharlie:
I just hate Apple because they act like everything they make is like the second coming of Jesus.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
I hate the apple fan-boy who believes it. Back when I had my G1 and ATT was airing those commercials that would show apps and say "only on an iphone" I would yell at my tv because my G1 did those things too. Their marketing is brilliant because they target un-tech savvy yuppies. You'd think other tech companies would spend a little dough on marketing.

A guy in my office was trying to tell me that his iPhone4 has an unbreakable gorilla screen (lol @ gorilla screen). "So, OMG I can drop it on the floor and it wont break" as said in a very flamboyant voice. Me being me, I had to burst his bubble. "Uh, it's still just glass, it'll break".

I do love my iPad but there's plenty of room for improvement, and I didn't pay for it so I get a pass.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Apple themselves have had a rocky history, but have had some good products.

The IPOD really did make apple rise from the dead if you think about it. Before that they were doomed for dust, and not a kid on the planet cared to have an apple computer. Now everything is Apple mania, with everyone buying Apple computers also... For what reason you'd use a Mac is beyond me?

Linux or Windows are both so much better than whatever OS apple is using these days.

But honestly HERE IS WHY APPLE GETS COPIED!!! Think about it... First the IPod... the largest MP3 player with that cool circle track thingy it was just so convenient. Then... Why not make it a phone too? So out comes the IPhone. Now the IPad.

I think the idea really behind the IPad and now other tablets like it, are for it to eventually become the next laptop. Todays laptops are big and bulk, and we have to start somewhere. I give it not to long and you will see bigger tablets, with faster processors, able to play games, and probably even run Windows 7.

Apple isn't dumb, but the Android OS makes their Iphone look like ****. All I gotta say is.. Got widgets on your iphone? Nope!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Apple is kind of like the "standard maker"

It sets a standard and then its competitors try to beat it.

Thats how life is, and thats how the world goes round.

In the end, its all good for us consumers. We get tons of options.

Patents on small things like the "slide to unlock" i admit, are stupid, how else can you freaking unlock a phone?

They copy each other, polish it, and make it their own.

Tbh, Windows shouldn't even have gotten into the Phone business, i mean their their popular, most percentage of humans love em' and use their computers.

They should have stayed at building their OS better, and simplified, Windows IS complicated for someone who doesn't know **** about tech.

They need to also make their updates more simplified, my old PC if i try to update it using Windows Updater or something it says i have to update 4000 something files.

I left my computer on for 2 whole days, i usually don't leave it on over-night unless if i'm downloading something important and big... and in that 2 days it updated like ... 20? files..??

I'm on windows right know though :P

Every company can be sued for their whole freaking company. It's called setting a Precedent.

Should George Washington come back from the dead and sue all the presidents for stealing his "so help me god" line?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetgosch10:
So I brought this issue up in the Serendipity Q&A forum, but decided to start a new thread because I am not sure whether this is a Rom specific or a handset problem. Now to the details, so when unlocking my Cappy my home button/back buttons go crazy and press themselves rapidly until I physically touch them. Has anyone had any problems like this?

I am running Serindipity 5.12 (same issue on 5.11) and have switched kernels to make sure that is not the problem. I have tried all of the various lock screens to make sure it is not only effecting one of them. The only thing I have not done is switched Roms and hopefully won't have to. Thanks in advance for your awnsers/suggestions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slow50:
I was loading a 2.2.1 rom (Dead Horse kernel and darky's ROM). all appeared to load, but when it went to reboot, it went into

3e

recovery. Vibrant screen comes up, then it goes into recovery with the following error.

E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110

E:copy_dbdata_media Can't mount DBDATA

I have tried odin 10+ times, always the same. I have used differant DL'd 512 and jfd and a couple others.

I disabled voodoo prior to doing all of this.

I searched, all threads said to odin back. I even loaded a voodoo kernel, it took me to the red recovery..

What am I missing?

Any links advice...

Yes I can get into download, and yes odin see's my phone.

Would bootloader update hurt or help?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
Is it possible with a custom flashed radio to make the T-Mobile US HD2 compatible with AT&T data frequencies?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingtytn:
yes u can u have to get the device unlocked once done u can gooogle the info from xda or simple ask att for there data info u need to manully enter
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
Thanks for the reply! Okay...so I call AT&T and they give me the data info. What do I do with it? Is it something where they tell you how to change it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
NO, you cannot access the AT&T high speed network with a T-Mobile HD2. The frequencies are different, and it is a matter of hardware, not software or firmware. It is built into the device.

If you install a radio from AT&T or a Non-US HD2 it will brick the phone.

The other responder is saying that if you unlock your phone you can use it with AT&T, which is true - but only at EDGE network speeds.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
I am not sure if they are called tbe same thing in Windows Mobile as Andriod but what member MartyLK is referring to is called APN settings in Andriod. These are the settings that tell the phone how to access the carriers network.

Member stevedebi is totally correct here you will only get GPRS and Edge. Hec is also correct if you flash a radio be it just a radio flash or a rom that flashes another radio along with the rom. If it is not compatible with the T-Mobile US HD2 then you will brick youre HD2. Once bricked you may or may not be able to save your HD2 with JTAG. Just making sure you are informed. Also you might want to go read member samsamuel's response to this question, click here and read post number two.

Edite: Go to this thread "Unlocked HTC HD2 AT&T MediaNET/MMS Settings". This is a thread on how to get your HD2 up and running on the AT&T network. It is not a thread on how to unlock hour HD2 to use with other carriers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcpure:
There is an Australian cellular company called "Telus" that has the same radio frequencies as AT&T and can run full 3g signals. They sold the HD2 but unfortunately they are very hard to find these days now that the phone is no longer a hot seller.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
So I flashed Skyraider tonight, wiped data, installed the ROM, and booted up the phone. I was halfway through setting up my Google account when the phone froze and rebooted. Except, it didn't boot back up. It did the "vibrate five times and flash the LED" thing. Didn't think it was a big deal, so I pulled the battery, tried to boot it back up. But it does the same thing.

I can get into the hboot menu, and if the phone is plugged into the computer, it'll boot up into Skyraider, but it can't read the SD card or the internal storage. So, essentially, a pretty screwy phone. I also cannot boot back into recovery. It just does the vibrating thing when I try. My computer doesn't detect the SD card or storage, either. (The SD card is fine, though. I put it in another phone and everything is still there.)

I have no idea what happened with it. I don't know if this is some random hardware damage, or if I should find an RUU and try to fix it or what.

I've had the worst luck with phones these past few weeks. :confused:

Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
What version of CM Recovery do you have?

I would go back to stock and redo everything again. Download this file

http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip

Rename it PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let the update run its course. This will bring you back to a completely stock 2.2. From there you can re-root and do as you please.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
I was on CW 2.5.1.2. But everytime I try to get into the recovery, the phone just vibrates five times and the LED flashes green. I'm also not sure that hboot is seeing my SD card. I'm going to try it, though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Here is the RUU if you need it

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
I appreciate it, but hboot isn't recognizing the SD card.

I'm really thinking there's some hardware damage.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I'm not sure if it works, but can you boot into hboot and run the RUU from there and update. I don't think you need to have a working SD Card in order to do that, but I could be wrong. At least then it will be stock and no worries if you take it to verizon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
Do you mean running the Windows RUU? I tried that last night, but it could never find the device. ADB recognizes it, though, so idk what the problem was.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
If you have the unrevoked USB drivers installed I believe that is what causes it. You have to have the "stock" drivers for the phone installed on the PC for it to work, that was a problem I was having when trying to run the RUU.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
I do have the stock drivers. I used unrevoked on Linux, and I've tried the RUU in Windows. But still no go.

I'm probably just going to take it up to Verizon today. If it can't boot, they really can't see that I've changed anything, right? :cool:

On the other hand, I'd rather keep the AMOLED screen.

Does anybody know if I'm going to get a refurb, or will I get a new SLCD model?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
If you had AMOLED first and they give you an SLCD, you can ***** at them and they have to give you an AMOLED one. Cuz that's what you payed for.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
^ that. I just had to have a new one sent to me, its coming today. When I called tech support I asked them about what one I would be getting. They said that because I bought an AMOLED, I would be getting an AMOLED replacement.

Yep. I got my replacement today. It's an AMOLED. As far as I can tell, all the hardware is working like it should.

[Epic 4G General] Bobulus:
If you look at that screenshot, the PDA option is not checked, which Odin does automatically when you select the .tar file.

Given the incredibly short runtime, I have a terrible suspicion you ODIN'd without a tar. I have no idea what that would do. :(
[Epic 4G General] rangerover_95:

[Epic 4G General] Firon:
he just re-partitioned and destroyed his bootloader since nothing was flashed in its place, more than likely.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
I agree with the previous 2 posts you repartitioned and had no tar to flash so it kinda seems bricked...I would take it to a sprint store and say your phone bricked while updating OTA :P

p.s. the 3 finger salute is VolDown/Camera/Power not volume up
[Epic 4G General] nonzenze:
Ah ****, I have no idea how that got unchecked. Oh well, I'll head to the Sprint store and say it bricked while updating from the Samsung website (before they pulled it).

[Atrix 4G General] ronan_zj:
I just check the same pic on my Atrix 4G , and Nexus one, as well as my IPS screen.

here are the sample:

1st attatchment is Atrix

2nd is Nexus one

3rd is Atrix vs N1

4th is original pic taken with Canon 5DmkII

IMO,

Atrix has washed out color

Nexus One(AMOLED) is overSaturated

My IPS lcd screen is calibrated by Spyder 2 pro.

I may like the color on Atrix, coz I am tired of AMOLED oversaturated color.

I dont have Inspire, so I can't judge on the SuperLCD screen.

Your judgement?
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
your atrix screen suffers from a yellow tint. it happens in all phones including iphone, nexus S " all phones "

there are 2 types of screens

1- yellow tinted screen

2- blue tinted screen. your nexus 1 is blue. while your atrix is yellow.

the blue one is the better screen, you will notice it when you put a blank white wallpaper. and on high brightness, you will see you atrix has yellow tint to it while your nexus 1 doesnt.

i say swap your atrix for better screen.

also you have to keep in mind that your screen is not Super Amoled. so dont compare contasts .
[Atrix 4G General] ViperXIV:
Just my $0.02, but I think the Atrix screen is better. It represents real colors, not oversaturated colors that everyone seems to love on phone screens now.
[Atrix 4G General] rex-tc:
Atrix had the best of everything in these. Definition, color balance, skin tones, etc. Anyone who clames different now is full of crap.

The N1 is waaay to red in my opinion.

The atrix could use a bit more warmth in the colours but not really that bad
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
More importantly, who's the girl..!? :p

Joking aside, the Atrix looks far more natural. I'm getting mine in a couple of hrs & have currently a N1 so I'll be comparing a lot in a while. Can't wait!
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
I think the atrix screen is great. I really dig the realistic colors. It's not perfect, but it's better than the N1 by far.

I still think that the iPhone has a better screen, i just don't want to use 3.5" anymore. It's too small and limiting.
[Atrix 4G General] lostsoulktash:
One thing though that I notice between this and the n1 is that I can actually use the atrix in direct sunlight and that's a +1.
